Xi proposes to build China-Vanuatu community of shared future via concerted efforts

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday proposed to build a China-Vanuatu community of shared future through efforts from both sides when holding talks with visiting Prime Minister of the Republic of Vanuatu Charlot Salwai in Beijing.

The Chinese president first extended his warm welcome to Salwai during the meeting.

"I'm delighted to meet you again in Beijing, Mr. Prime Minister. Welcome you and your ministers. We met in Papua New Guinea in 2018 and in Beijing in 2019. It's been five years, and I welcome your official visit to China once again," said Xi.

"Vanuatu is a good friend and partner of China in the Pacific island region. All-weather and all-round friendly cooperation is the characteristic of the times and a defining feature of China-Vanuatu relations. China attaches great importance to its relationship with Vanuatu and is willing to work with Vanuatu to continue to take the lead in deepening high-level political mutual trust, carrying out practical and high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, advancing the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative. Let us join hands to build a community of shared future between China and Vanuatu in the new era," said Xi.

"Your excellency, my dearest friend and comrade, I bring you the best of greetings from the government and the people of Vanuatu. Small nations like ours are able to meet regularly with the political leaders of China, a courtesy unmatched by the developed Western nations. Your leadership must be commended for the significant achievements that have united people of this great nation and civilization," said Salwai at the meeting.

At the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Salwai is paying an official visit to China from July 7 to 12.

Noting that China and Vietnam are comrades in the socialist cause and good partners on the path of reform, Han said General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and President Xi Jinping and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee and President To Lam have made strategic plans for advancing the China-Vietnam community with a shared future, providing clear direction for the development of bilateral relations.

Noting that next year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the China-Vietnam Year of People-to-People Exchanges, Han said the two sides should follow the important consensus reached by the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, maintain strategic communication, expand practical cooperation, consolidate the foundation of public opinion, strengthen multilateral coordination and promote the building of a China-Vietnam community with a shared future, bringing more benefits to the two peoples.

Bui Thanh Son said that developing long-term friendly relations with China is the consistent proposition, objective requirement, strategic choice and top priority of Vietnam's diplomacy.

Vietnam firmly adheres to the one-China policy and is willing to strengthen high-level exchanges, consolidate political mutual trust, deepen pragmatic cooperation with China, and jointly promote the building of a Vietnam-China community with a shared future with strategic significance, he added.
